under all circumstance- to swerve not a

A S!."!e--man is one thinjr.a selfish pol
itician i- lamentably another. Wliile
the x aluablr Statesman endeavours to
h-arn the trutli and know the right, and
m. to adopt the rules of right in their
bearings upon the people that all shall
le protected and matle contented, a scl
tish i)oIitieian seeks only his own per
sonal agraudizement at the expense of
the rights of the people. A politician
would only desire to know how he may
Irt-st tickle the fancy of the people where
he resides, for the lime being, or to adopt
the prejudices of the powerful in oppo
sition to right, that he may ride into
authority. Such a man is of about as
much consequence in maintainingnow
crnmont founded uon principle, or in
defending the principles upon which it
is constructed, a a silly fop would Ik? in
attempting to construct a locomotive to
work in harmony with the natural prin
ciples of philosophy, or in operating it
after it should be constructed.
What the people want is, to support
men who dare to be men ; men who are
not biased or controlled by prejudice,
but who will defend the right and cor
rect principles, and see that even the
poorest and humblest of men may be se
cured in the enjoyment of their natural
privileges. Such men, so far as our per
sonal acquaintance extends, have been
nominated upon the Hopublican ticket
for County Officers and we urge every
member of the republican party to
port them. It is all important to avoid
dissensions and unite upon the men in
the defence of thes-e principle.
There are hundreds of other men in
Franklin County equally as good per
haps as those whom wc have put in
nomination but wc cannot support tlum
as against our ticket; these arc good men
and the ticket is completed wiili their
names ; we cannot add to, nor take from,
the nominations and with the ticket
must stand or fall. In the view we now
take of this matter, and it is the highest
whicli can be taken, we support the
ticket because it was nominated in a con
vention which we in part composed,
it was an expression of the will of the
majority fairly obtained, or as fairly ob
tained as we may ever expect to reach
in a public assembly, and it sustains
principles which then- is no other way
to defend than to yield to the ticket our
cordial support.
We think we taice the only correct
vie w of the matter, mid Ailtl urge the
inijiortance of unitedly Hiipjiortiiig the
nominations, upon every member of the
Republican party, and also of tho-e of
whatever party, win- believe in the in
alienable right of man.
The Old Spirit.
Our readers, who have read the letter
of (it-ii. Blair, and the remarks of (ien.
Wade Hampton, will recognize the fart
that the present leaders of the Demo
cracy are actuated by the same spirit
which caused the late rebellion they
mean to -rule or ruin." The most hi
lluential Democratic papers take the
same course, as witness the La Crosse
Dthtrjrraf and the World, witli the ma
jority of Southern papers. On the triol
of the "rule or ruin" game in the late
rebellion, which seems to be forgotten
by the Democracy, a Union man, once
in a while, took the conceit out of the
"white supremacy" chiefs, and brought
them to aproper understanding of their
real situation. This was done once in
102, as the following correspondence
shows, and will be done again, we do
not doubt, under the leadership of the
same man. The portion of affairs now
and then has a similarity which is
worthy of notice, though the conflict is
shifted from the field of carnage to the
field of polities. Here is the correspon

NOMINATION' Or HON. C. W. WlLUYIin.
There were thirteen ballots forRcprc
sentatives to Congress, at the District
Convention at Rutland yesterday, the
last not varying very much from the
first. At tlie conclusion of the thirteenth
ballot, the Convention adjourned to
meet at 9 o'clock this morning. Eight
more lmllots were had this morning,
when lion. C. W. Willard, of Mont
pelicr, as we are informed by telegraph,
-wa unanimously nominated. Mr. Wil
lard is a young man of decided ability,
and tlie Convention has made an excel

credit on the District,

The attention of the reader has already
been called to bin recommendation of a
united oommand in the Mississippi Val
ley, and to the tartly action of the Gov
ernmental currying this recommenda
tion into effect. It is hardly necessary
now to eay that this combination was
the foundation of all our substantial
victories, not only m the West, but
throughout the entire theatre of war.
Fort Donelson was won by celerity,
audacity, and heroic resolution ; Shiloh
by stubborn fighting and unconquer
able heroism ; Vicksburg by the most
brilliant and original strategy, by rapid
marching, judicious combination and
self-reliance, whicli remind one of the
invasions of Russia by Charles XIL, or
the vigor displayed in Bonaparte's cam
paign of 17!Hi: b'ut it must not be for
gotten that Charles lost his army at
Pultowa, and that Bonaparte did not
cut loose from his base and plunge head
long into the interior of the hostilecoun
try ; but by a judicious and well-formed
plan of operations ho broke through the
enemy's lines at such a point as to re
tain his communications, with France
constantly uninterrupted, while by
rapid combinations and secre battles
he drove these lines before him. But
Grant, in the Vicksburg campaign,
boldly threw himself into the midst of
hostile forces, leaving an army entirely
behind him, until he had seized the
most important point in the theatre oi
operations, and then turned upon and
defeated that army, and drove it into
the fortifications from which it was des
tined never to emerge except at the will
of its conqueror. The closing victories
of the war were won by a rare combina
tion of military agencies. The consoli
dation of tour vast territorial depart
ments into one grand military division
enabled Grant to concentrate at Chatt
anooga a splendid army, heavily out
numbering the enemy, and it should be
remembered that Providence favors
strong battalions. By a series of stra
tegic and strong tactical combinations,
these superior numbers v civ so directed
upon the field of battle as to take the
enemy at disadvantage, striking him in
tlie ltaiiK, ana actually getting closer to
hi base of supplies than bis base was to '
hi- own headquarters,
The Atlanta campaign and the march
to the sea ; the -election of .Sheridan and
the formation of the middle military di
vision ; tlie consolidation of the West
ern cavalry ; the establishment of the
military division of the Wcr-t Mississippi,
under Canby, followed by the campaign
of Mobile ; Sherman's grand holiday
excursion and pic-nic party through the
Carolinas, again severing'the .Southern
territory, isolating and scattering its
ai mies," breaking its communications,
and eating out the vitals of the Confeder
acy ; and lastly, but not least, the mag
nificent campaign of the Army of the
Potomac, from the Rapidantothe .lames,
and from Petersburg to Appomattox
Court House, Irht ample testimony
not only to the grandeur of Grant's con
ceptions, but to tlie heroic and unshak
able resolution with which he carried
them into elfoet. There was no defeat
in all thi-. no hesitation, no doubting,
but the clear comprehension of the ends
to be aimed at. the most careful prepara
tion of materials, and the most perfect
confidence in the men and means by
which they were to be attained. 2o
modern General except Bonaparte ever
wielded such vast and prolonged power;
ami not even that great conqueror dis
played such remarkable sagacity in his
organizations and selections of subordi
nates. Massenaand Sou It were driven
from Spain : McDonald was overwhelm
ed it Katzlach ; Marmnt whs defeated
at Montmartre ; and Najiok-on himself
w as driven from Russia, beaten at Leip
sie. and finally, after a series of unac
eouutable blunders, was hurled from his
throne, recovering H again only to re
peat his blunders and meet an ignoui
nious fate.
Hut Grant knew that no genius, how
ever remarkable, could tulHciently com
mand the national armies in a war of
such magnitude without the assistance
of lieutenants who could be trusted "to
make their ow n orders" for the emer
gencies that were sure to arise. Ho
therefore gave more thought to the prop
er organization and direction of armies
u)on the vital points of the enemy's
territory and lines, and to the selection
of men competent to command thein,
than to issuing the detailed orders ot
battle. NeithcrSherinan, nor Sheridan,
nor Thomas, nor Canby ever failedhim,
!in! had circumstances enabled him to
devote himself exclusively to the com
mand of the Army of the Potomac, he
would doubtless have displayed as much
kill in the tactics ot battle as he did in
tlie strategy of campaigns.
J he (iiiieii judgment by which he dis
covered the enemy's plan to evacuate
fort Donelson, and the sudden resolu
tion which he baed thereupon, to at
tack at once, are evidences orsomething
more than aggressive temper or mere
brute courage. The tactics of Lookout
Mountain, Chattanooga Valley, and
Mission Bidgc have never been surpass
ed. The tactics, or more properly, the
grand tactics displayed during the over
land campaign, arc worthy ol the
highest commendation, and had the ex
ecution of details been as faultless asthe
conception of the movements, there
would have been nothing to regret. But
it was precisely in the details with
which Grant studiously avoided inter
fering that the greatest, and in fact the
only, failures took place. Grant's con
duet at Belmont, Fort Donelson, Shiloh,
Vicksburg and the Wilderness was all
that could have been wished, and shows,
beyond chance of dispute, that be pos
sesses in the highest degree that "two-
o'eloek-in-thc-morning courage" which
apolcon declared to he the rarest tiling
among Generals ; while his conception
and execution of the Vicksburg cam
paign are complete proof that hisjudg-
ment is in exact equilibrium with his
courage. His unvaried course of success
through four years of warfare shows
that he is entitled to be ranked in the
category of Generals who never lost a
campaign or a battle, and the easy sim
plicity with which he did the most ex
traordinary things points strongly to
the possession of a remarkable genius for
war.
Those Questions.
The questions asked by a correspond
ent with a request that Mr. Soule, the
self-constituted candidate for sheriff,
would answer them, still remain un
heeded by that gentleman. This, if Mr.
Soule cares for anything so much as the
oilice, is very singular, and unfair to
wards any who support him for any oth
er purpose than to cause a split in the
Republican ranks. Mr. Soule has held
the office under repeated Republican

is it? In the first place, after a short
stay in the party, and after enjoying to
the full the benefits of a good office, Mr.
Soule pub? his own interests in opposi
tion to those of the party which has fa
vored him highly, and thereby proves

thereby he justifies the action of the

ces-sity for further legislation of a coerc

the Committee fay they cannot support
the Bill, but would rather trust to the
further developmcntof moral influences.
" The following passage of the Com
mittee's Beporfc," suy the London
Times, of July 'IS, "will have full
weight with reasonable minds: "
It has been proved toyom Committee
that a very large number of persons
make use of public houses on Sunday
against whom no complaint whatever is
alleged, and to whom further restric
tions to thecxtont contemplated by the
Bill would be pKxluetive of serious in
convenience. And whilst this iucon
venienoe would occasion great discon
tent amongsuch persons, it by no means
follows that a commensurate benefit
would result with regard to the class
against whom such restrictions wotdd
be especially directed. Those who drink
to excess form a very small percentage
of tlie whole number of persona who
malu- use of public houses on a tMinoay,
and it is probable that many of theses
persons, if deprived of their preff-nt u
cilities for obtaining liquor, would have
recourse to drinking in private houm--,
and to various methods of evading the
law. For, however beneficial maj be
the results of restriction within certain
limits its enforcement to such in extent

the habits of the people, has a tendency
to create a discontent which is sure to
be followed by evasion, the law is
brought into disrepute, and effects are

There is something in all tl.;s- cuc
thinking men in our own land, w ho : ie
sincere in their desire of progress tf tin

means used in promoting tin ir object,
which is equally the object of all v ill
wishers of the human family. We may
as-.-ert it to lie a truth that every peiswii
in our 8tate is ai heart in favor of "tem
perance" so-called, and none more sin
cerely so than those who seetn to ! i,y
this in practice by the abuse of liv.'.r.
We may also asijert that legislative
prohibition has failed to pr. vent ibis
abuse, so at variance with the w .ll-l. ing
of individuals, and the prosperity, hap
piness, and peace of families: and also,
that means having no aid from or sup
port in coercion, have taken up many of
the cases which legislation fai'.sto reach,

Hereditary Honors.
We copy from the London IHme of
July 20 the following editorial article,
which indicates that Democratic prin
ciples are gaining an ascendancy far
greater than we had supposed among
the thinking men of Great Britain.
When the ablest and most influential
of .English papers comes out so stronglj'
against the hereditary Peerage, we may
suppose with some reason that it is in
fluenced by or that it influences public
sentiment greatly, and thai the day of
th c highest privileges on account of
birth, etc., i3 drawing to a close. The
idea of passing si law pensioning some
oueyet unborn, or who has in noway
won a title to recognition, could arise
only in a country where a lucky acci
dent of birth is counted equal with the
deserts of genius; and the increasing in
telligence of the English masses will
soon make the carrying out of such an
idea impossible. The Times article says:
The Queen, at the recommendation of
the Ministry, made Sir R, Napier a
Beer, the House of Commons voting
$2,000 a year to himself and his next
heir. This must be considered as a tool
ish honor. Lord Napier of Magdala is
not supposed to be a rich man, and he
well deserves the pension for his own
lite that the Commons have voted. Had
they decided to continue it to his wife,
in case she survived him, they would
also have done well ; but two thousand
a year to his eldest son, or the heir to his
Peerage, is a misappropriation of public
money in favor of amiichievoussystcm.
If Lord Napier cannot settle a large sum
in perpetuity, to descend with the title,
there may soon be that unprofitable
spectacle of a pauper lord. If he should
leave a considerable lamiiy, and pinch
the rest of them for the sake of an eldest
son, ha.will act unfairly, and thus tar
nish the honours ol his Abyssinian
campaign.
The City of London, in bestowing
their freedom upon our Abyssinian chief
have tempted him to no wrong, placed
him in no difficulty ; anl the reward
they intend to present may be honor
ably held for generations in the family
without requiring a pension to Keep it
bright. Happily, the absurd personage
who now happens to be Lord Mayor was
not the chief actor in the civic celebra
tion. A much more gentlemanly and
judicious officer, Mr. Scott, the Cham-
berhn, iook the lead, and delivered an
address marked by good feeling and
good taste. Lord Napier replied in a
speech which will help to show his sim
ple character, and make the regret
deeper than he has been converted into
a supporter of that worn-out institution,
the Hereditary Peerage, which all rea
sonable people believe ought not to last.
w e could not expect a lory aunistry to
rise again, and light out, the Life Peer
age question, and we cannot wonder at
bir Hobcrt N apier accepting a mark of
public approval, though given in an un-
philosopliical form. We hope the fu
ture xord JNapier of .Magdala may turn
out better than other inheritors of Peer
ages conferred for military success.
Dukes of Marlboroug have been good for
nothing since ihe first one, and his mor
al character by no means equalled his
military .skill. The- Duke of Welling
ton left none of his talent to the gentle
man who now has the title and the great
estates, and if in past cascs the hereditary
principle has so often failed, it is not
very encouraging! to trv fresh experi
ments in tho same direction. Perhaps,
however, the hereditary legisiation
farce may bo' played out'beforo a new
Lord papier or Magdala may bo called
upon to wear honors ho'did not win.

Anothcr Letter.
We have published a letter from the
Hon. Isaac X. Morris, of Illinois, in
which he fully exposes the shifting
trickery of Blair, and we herewith give
a portion of a letter from P. II. Sibley,
one of the Democratic State Central
Committee, of California, addressed to
said committee. ine louowing is me
lfiri
rger portion of the letter, the con-
cluuion of it containing the assertion
that Mr. Sibley will vote fqr Grant and
Colfax:
I would be doing violence to my own
feelings, and guilty of unfair conduct to

1 believe that in doing so I am not sacri
ficing those principles of patriotism that
are higher and holier than any senti
ment of mere party fealty. I believe
that tlie war was inaugurated in the
Souih in the interest of shivery. I be
lieve it was the duty of the Govern
ment to resist the heresy of secession by
arms. 1 believe the calling out of troops,
the tlraft of soldiers, the prosecution of
waragainst rebellion, was constitutional
and necessary for the preservation of the
republic. I believe the emancipation of
slaves was necessary and unavoidable as
a war measure. I believe the creation
of a national tlebt grew out of the ex
igencies of the long continued and des
perate conflict. I believe the issue of
paper currency was an evil incident to
the struggle. I believe that the nation
al tlebt .-houlil be paid to the last dollar
in coin of tlie national mint, and tiiat
no form or measure of repudiation is
consistent with national honor. I am

Not being in the eating mood we did
not indulge in the pleasures of the
bountiful tables spread for the Com
mencement Dinner at the American
Hotel. The dinner was, with its suc
ceeding speeches, highly enjoyed, and
its good name remains in the mouths of
many. Concerning the excursion on
the lake, on tlie still-running and well
managed steamer ' Canada," wo can
speak from experience, and say that in
all respects it was enjoyable. The wea
ther was fine; the boat was right ; the
lake was laconic of white-cups ; the
music was (Jralfula's ; the passengers
were Ladies and (Jentlemen ; and if
there was any reason why reasonable
and pleasant enjoyment should not be
the blessing of nil, tho reason failed to
produce its effect, and the blessing was
accepted. Aftera trip which lasted un
til 2 o'clock a.m., oifwhieh the pleasant
village of Plattsburgh was visited, and
some of its citizens received on board,
with officers of the 42nd Infantry in
cluded, the boat returned its freight of
pleasure-seekers at the Burlington
wharf, and the excursion and ending of
Commencement came to a period. For
our enjoyment we are indebted to the
cditorsoftho Times, nnd others, whojex
tendetl, as they did to us last j'car, every
courtesy. Every visit which we have
made to the "Queen City" but strength
ens the favorable ojrinions expressed by
us last year.
We arc glad to know that the Uni
versity is generally believed to be en
tering on a career of prosperity and in
creased usefulness. Two ycare have
seen successful efforts made in its be
half which promise this, and the pro
mise begins to be realized. Liberal do
nations have been made, and we pre
sume will still be made to give new life
to the institution, and the choice of in
structors has been felicitous. The Uni
versity docs not entertain an Angcll un
awares. Long and well may it live !

The Vermont Central Jiailwag.
Among those railway companies noted
for active enterprise, liberality, and mod
erate charges for travel, the Vermont
Central takes high rank. It is not too
much to say that the road is one of the
best managed in tho United States, and
that more attention is paid to the com
fort and safety of passengers than one
always sees displayed. The through
train for New York and Boston now
leaves Montreal one hour later than
heretofore, yet this time is made within
the first 100 miles of the route. Tho Di
rectors have also put on the line magni
ficent sleeping care which run through to
Boston without change, and vice versa.
These sleeping cars are the wonder of
all beholders, and our exchanges have
recently devoted much space in praise
of their beauty and comfort. The Daily
A'ck'3 says :
For the special accomodation of Mon
treal travel, the VermontCentral Bail
way Company have commenced run
ing a new through train to New York
and Boston. This train leaves Bona
yenture Station at 4:30 p. m., and ar
rives in Boston at 8:30 the next morn
ing, and In eV York at,ll:30. Superb
Palace Sleeping Cars are attachea to
this train on the whole route, so that
passengers for Boston taking the train
at Montreal will not require to change
eiirs. This now train commenced run
ing yesterday, and henceforth sleeping
cars will be'attached at Montreal, and
not at St. Albans, as formerly. The
new sleeping cars were made at the
Company's Works, St. Albans, and ae
fitted up" in first class style. Each car
has twenty-four seats, placed, length
wise, covered with rich scarlet plush,
and stuffed with curled hair. The mat-tres.-es
are also tilled with the same ma
terial. The curtains are of 1 cavy scar
let, and blue red figured attached to the
railing by leather lisps, thus preventing
auy disagreeable noiso or rattle. The
lloor is covered with Brussel's carpets ;
the wash rooms and eloseta are large
and furnished with every convenience;
coal-oil lamps have been displaced by
sperm candles fixed in spring candle
sticks, which keepa the candle to its
place as it burns down, and prevents the
ossibilite3 of oil or grease falling to tlie
lloor in case of a jar. The facings of the
car are of black walnut, with ohe?tnut-
panels; the ceiling is covered with pain-
ted oilcloth ; the ventilation is good-
in short, everything, down to the spit
toons, which are .-iivor-plated, is got up
in astyle combining elegance with com
fort. Tho Company deserve credit for
their successful efforts to administer to j
the wants and comfort of the traveling j
public.

we
ple of the First Congressional Distrn;,
as a gentleman of acknowledged ability,,

fidelity to the republican party have re

of the people of Vermont, and have lomr
since placed him in theforemo -tr.ini:
of Vermont's most prominent and t-.l-cntcd
citizens. He for several v tars
held the office of Secretary of State, and
in 1S00 and 1801 ably represent, d tie
county of Washington In the St nate,
and was President pro tempore of the
Senate in 1S01. But the field on which
be has dlsnlaved tlieirrentest nbilitv lias

been in the able and vigorous manner
umnsof the Green Mountain Freeman,
cf which he has been the editor for many
years. The discrimination and fore
sight that have characterized his eon
duct of that journal has longsince placed
him at the head of tho editorial ranks
in Vermont, and the discussions of the
public questions which have agitated
the country since 18G1, have marked
him as belonging to the advance guard
of the exponents of Republican princi

whicli will insure to the people of this

was hoped the afi'air was ended. But on
arriving at the bams of C. & E. Dewey
the Sheriff was confronted by a squad of
five or six laborers from the ore bed, who
iiishing out seized his horse by the head
and commenced throwing stones, one of
which struck the Sheriff on the side of

tlie blood flowed freely. Farrell was

heavily upon the ground, and assailed
with a shower of fist-blows and kicks,

hand-cuffed. There is no doubt Farrell
would been lulled outright, had it not

to the scene, and succeeded in getting
the prisoner into the barn, and locking
the door, when tho crowd, which had

A Sensible and Repentant Reb
el. The Republicans of tho Second
Arkansas District lately nominated
James T. Elliott of Camden for Con
gress, and his letter accepting the nom
ination he uses this sensible language,
whicli shows that he understands the
political exigencies of the times and ap
preciates the position taken by the Re
publican party and the principles con
tained in Its platform :
"I am a truly and thoroughly recon
structed rebel. I say this is no canting
or boasting spirit. I detest a hypocrite
and despise flic man who, like the vain
glorious Pharisee of old, make3 an os
tentatious parade of assumed humility
when his heart is full of piide and de
ceit. When I say that I am a recon
structed rebel, I do not say it in that
spirit which suggests extraordinary vir
tue or claims extraordinary considera
tions ; nor, on the other hand, do I say
it in that spirit of unduehumility which
suggests a craven and coward heart.
But I say it in that open, frank and
manly spirit of one who has the honesty
to confess that he has done wrong, and
the courage to say that he is sorry for it.
I unhesitatingly and unreservedly accept
the Republican platform as adopted at
Chicago, and will sink or swim with it;
and believe that the principles therein
enunciated contain the great fundamen
tal idea of restoring the Union upon a
fair basis. I believe the Republican
party has proved true and faithful to its
promises and policy, and will finally
succeed in establishing that policy."

The first impression-; made by Madame

newspnpor acquaintance with you has
abundantly proved. I have written you
twice in relation to the paper-mill at S?.
Albans; you m fit to publi-h Loth
ters but up to this time, you have m.:. li
no reply in any manner satisfactory to
myself. I had every inducement to be
lieve that I should betreated honorably,
and yet after some considerable time hud
elapsed you only eaw fit to mention my
visit to St. Albans in an editorial notice,
concerning a paper-mill enterprise some
where in Ohio. What do you suppo-e
I care for the paper mills of Ohio, or
what relatiou my visit had to them, I
cannot disc-over. The allusion was far
fetched, and if any purpose was to he
found in it, it must have been to satisfy
your readers that there wasa possibility,
if not a reasonable supposition that iue
Ohio project would be adopted by the
citizens of St. Albans. After my ex
perience as related to you in my pre
vious letters, wherein I attempted to
satisfy you of the myth of a mill, and
the total impossibility of ever operating
one in our town, the issue of veracity i
hy you made direct.

of Armand is of the same opinion,
tor in this business we make our money.
If the people of Canada .should believe
that noattack would be made upon them
by the Head-Centres and thtii follow
ers, I should lose my situation with the
mustering out of my regiment, and my
friend at St. Armand would loose the
opportunity to ration the .nldiers at his
station.
It is thought by the best judges of the
situation, that your Presidental election
will aw-ist us, while contemplated move
ments in connection with it, will add in
tensity to tbe heat of the campaign. It
is seldom that our interests are identi
cal, and w hen they are discovered to ie
sj, tlie milk of human kindness should
f rifely nourish them. Adroit politicians
will not mis an advantage, no matter
how to ie obtained, and if the Fenians
can le u.sed by them to accomplish their
objects as many suppose they will be,
they will be moved against tbe Domin
ion. The people of the United States are a
law abiding people, as the ret irds of the
nations of the earth will prove, and if at
such a time On. Grant or other in au
thority proceed to execute tlie law- to
prevent armed bodies of men from en
tering Canada, they must expect to en
list their vote with the opposition party.
Can there be anything clearer than this?
The Fenian excitement must be kept
alive somehow aud the newspapers of
your country can afford the greatest as
sistance. The Transcript must aid us in this,
for if the excitement dies away I shall
officially tlie awaytwith it and unscrupul
ous politicians will not in such an event
attain to positions of eminence.
To carry out this programme it will
be necessary for the members of the Fe
nian organization to forget that they are
citizens of tlie United States and are un
der obligations to observe the law s- of
your; own country. This the press Van
assist them in doing, and it is one of the
grandest designs which a newspaper can
aid in its teachings. I hope you see the
point, by encouraging outlawry and fili
bustering, you can materially aid my

"Republics are ungrateful!" "The
truth of that phrase has shown itself in
your struggles but too often, and with
out being partial to monarchial institu
tions, it must nevertheless bo confessed
that the Government of Great Britain,
for instance, has always rewarded ifc he
roes in a becoming manner for services
rendered by them to their country.
There is Lord Campbell, and but lately
Lord Napier, whose elevation to tlie
peerage, oilers a striking illustration to
that fact. The latter brought the Abys
sinian expedition to a lucky issuo, and
the nation appreciates the advantages,
which his quick, judicious, and energet
ic action has secured to British reputa
tion and interests abroad. What have
the United States done for their hero
Grant, who saved the Union in a suc
cession of glorious victories over the reb
els of the South ? To be sure, they have
made'him the Commander-in-chief of all
the armies, and the Republican party
have nominated him to be the future
President of the United States; but this
docs not prevent the political enemies
of the general, from denouncing the
brave general as a butcher, a drunkard,
etc., only In order to secure the election
of the men of their own political creed.
You must acknowledge in your repub
lican country, that occurrences of that
description arc not met with under any
